9.7. Using TCP Sockets

This is the most popular socket type. It features a managed connection, message acknowledgements,
transmission error detection and correction.
TCP socket port 8003
Open
Responses to queries are sent back automatically with a line-feed terminator appended.
If the web page LAN controller access is set to "Multiple Clients" (see section 6.6.2), then up to three
controllers may open TCP sockets to one power supply at the same time.
Instrumentation utilities from the Test and Measurement market support TCP sockets.
For example, VISA and IVI allow 'raw socket' or 'data socket' instruments with a resource
name such as: "TCPIP::169.254.33.192::8003::SOCKET".

9.8. Using UDP Sockets

This is a simpler socket type with reduced network traffic. It is a 'connectionless' protocol because messages
are sent and there is no acknowledgement that they have been received.
UDP socket port 8005
Open
Responses to queries are sent back automatically with a line-feed terminator appended.
Before opening a UDP socket, it is required to open the web page and set the controller access to "Multiple
Clients" (see section 6.6.2).
Up to three controllers may open UDP sockets to one power supply at the same time.

9.9. Other Ports

In addition to the ports listed above, a port scanner will detect port 8000.
This is a helper port for the web pages. Do not attempt to communicate with it.
The Genesys™ LAN 2.0 does not support raw sockets at port 8001.
